Mustafapasa, Keslik Monastery & Soganli Valley

Tour Description

Mustafa Pasa was inhabited by Greek Orthodox families until the beginning of the 20th century. The houses dating back to the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries display fine examples of stonework. Damsa lake is an example of the hard work of local men and women in building a dam across the lake. Cemil means 'Pretty Village', here is where the Greek people lived. Keslik this Archangelos Monastery is about two kilometers south of Cemil. The monastery comprises a church chapel, refectory, hall, and other chambers, all hollowed out of a group of broad-based cones. Soganli fractured and collapsed during an earthquake that added to erosion, resulting in deep valleys and canyons. Soganli valley, which is divided into two, has been occupied since the Roman period. The rock cones found on the sides of the valley were used as graves by the Romans, and later as churches by the Byzantines.
